green light!

if feel in such a hurry to get started. i just want to start! i don't want to wait a year to get funding. i'm going to start however i can as soon as i can and still apply for the grant, but it will just be used to boost my supplies, perhaps fund a trip to a trade show if i can use it that way. i was able to carve my tomato block (for block printing) over the weekend and it felt so good. the lemon is next. what i really need is a sewing machine that works!!! so i can start doing my bags. as soon as i can i'm going to order a bunch of them and just start. i feel really passionate about them because using sustainable shopping bags is such a simple thing to do and so many millions of disposable bags are used every single day. i love to take things that are mundane and utilitarian and make them gorgeous or fun or sacred--or all of those things. i love reminding people of the awesome nature of life's simplest tasks. also, the thing with reusable bags is people always forget to take them, so let's try having bags that really stand out, that you want to show off, even.
i'm so ready!
